I just don't understand what's wrong with Rushdie.

It's the equivalent of President Hinckley issuing a fatwa for Steve Benson or something.

Even the guy that translated The Satanic Verses into Japanese got murdered.

MindfulCoug: In your estimation, what percentage of the Iranian population wants to kill Rushdie? Can you explain to us the logic behind the fatwah/hukm?
